Mr Bremner said: ”French Duncan’s progressive approach to accounting and track record in the hospitality sector has provided me with the ideal platform to develop an innovative new product for the hospitality market. We will be able to offer hotels of all sizes a one-stop-shop service that will streamline the operation and help them to take management decisions based on real-time financial data. Making use of mobile devices, clients will have access to critical accounting information in the format they want, when they want it.”
